Helpful info please on headlight upgrades!

Well, im rather new to this forum and not as knowledgeable as many others regarding technical modifications. Although i love my g35 sedan's original appearance, i inherently feel its asking for more upgrades. Starting off with my headlights, im curious to know about anyone's opinions regarding ordering from www.hid4less.com for :

1 changing my xenons to either stage II xenons or to projector bulb xenons. hid4less told me that there currently is no stage II with projector bulbs. i like the projector bulbs and their appearance on german cars (bmw,mercedes, audi) and feel that the g35 will look even better. unless im mistaken...im under the impression that projector bulbs are betetr overall. does anyone have any opinions or experience on this? does anyone have any recommendation as to whether i should go with projector bulbs over upgrading my normal xenons to stage II? also, if i change my bulbs to projector..or if i upgrade to stage II..then will i have any burnouts or technical problems with the bulbs or the compartment in which the xenons are installed in now?

2 what about my high beams? does anyone have any recommendations as to what i can do with them? i was also thinking of replacing them with xenons as well. i know in that case i have to buy the whole xenon kit (more money) as well.

3 last but not least...regarding the foglights and park lights...anyone have any info about any specific producs that will work efficiently without burnouts? i read the post on the fog lights..but still confused as to what to get.


thanks guys.

Re: Helpful info please on headlight upgrades!

If you're really inclined to get projectors, you'll have to retrofit the Hella 90mm projectors, and also get the appropiate D2S capule that fits a H9 base.

The main advantage to projectors over the free-form reflectors is the sharper vertical cutoff, and it's easier to modify the beam pattern (by modiying the shield).

The fogs/high beams...if you get a normal HID kit, kiss your high beams goodbye. You need to spend the extra money that offers both the low beam position and the high beam position.

also try www.autolamps-online.com
